They are very valuable documents, and will be read with much interest. We have frequently expressed our approbation of the Scotch system of Banking, and are glad in being borne out by the opinion of the Committee in the Commons, who describe it as " a system admirably " calculated to economise the use of capital, to excite " and cherish a spirit of useful enterprise, and even to " promote the moral habits of the people by the direct " inducements which it holds out to the maintenance " of a character for industry, integrity, and prudence. The only extraordinary circumstance is, that in the face of this commendation (aud stronger language can be scarcely used) it never seems to have once occur , red to the Committee, that, if this admirable and proved system in Scotland, and the untried chimerical Project of a Metallic Currency in England, cannot co-exist, (which, however, they seem to think quite Possible), it is a question well worthy of consi deration, which of the two systems ought to give place to the other, One would suppose, that find ing the English system radically vicious and re quiring change, and the Scotch system answeting every purpose of a legitimate currency—there would have been some proposal to assimilate the English to the Scotch system. But instead of this, a mighty and dangerous experiment is to be tried with the English system ; and the Scotch system with which no fault has been found, and which has worked well from its commencement, was to have been subjected to the same treatment, though in perfect health. From this fate, the Report of the Committee has rescued Scotland, and we cannot help hoping that the wealthy English will not be too proud to take a lessen from their less opulent but not less acute fellow-subjects beyond the ~Tweed. The late distresses were not occasioned by a Paper currency (for Scotland has a Paper currency, which hasi stood as the Committee state, the shocks of credit in 19" 0, 1797 an d 182.5), but they were Occasioned by palpable defects in that currency. If The Sebteti ~ ystem is good (as we are now au 'thorised' tO say fore boldly then before), that of Englund must be bad, for they differ in every respect. In England there are Legislative enactments to prevent security and confidence in private Banks, for fear of interfering with the monopoly which has been sold to the Bank of England. In Scotland there is no such monopoly. The laws of landed pro perty in England, where title-deeds are hid like trea son, open - the door to all sorts of fraud. In Scotland a man must give up his real as well as his personal estate, to pay banking or any other debts ; and the Register Office prevents his concealing the extent of it : and even in detail, there is something more straight forward, and more lucrative, we suspect, to the Bankers themselves, in allowing a small inte rest on deposits, rather than tacitly requiring an undefined balance to lie without interest. The amount of deposits is of course greatly encreased, and a share of the 'profits of a million, may exceed greatly the whole profits of 100,0001. The operation of these small deposits, and of the cash credits, is admirably stated by the Committee. So far then from wishing to see Scotland dragged with England into this specious plan of a bullion cur rency, we will repeat that we hope England will assi milate her system, as far as possible, to the admirable system of Scotland ; and will at all events purchase back the ruinous monopoly which has been sold to t he Batik of England. The Limes of this morning is very angry indeed with the Report; but for what reason, it is not easy to ascertain—excepting that some of the gentle men examined by the Scotch Committee, were the most likely people to be acquainted with the sub ject, and were not all Englishmen or Irishmen, whom the Times would, perhaps ; have selected exclusively for giving information on Scotch Banking : and secondly, that the Bankers in that country derive a profit of 250,0001. a-year from the system, for the continuance of which all Scotland has petitioned. We gave in a Second Edition, which - comprised nearly the whole of our yesterday's impression, the Speech of the Lords Co►mnissioners, acting in his Majesty's Name, to both Houses of Parliament, closing the Session : and it will be found again this day, under our Parliamentary Report. The Speech from the Throne, on the termination of a Session of Parliament, never possesses the in terest which attaches to the Speech on the opening of a Session. It must necessarily refer to events which have occurred, and to subjects in the recollection of all, rather than contain any exposition of the policy which directs the councils of the country. We could not, therefore, expect to find in the present Speech any subject of novelty ; but must rather congratulate ourselves, that the various questions which have occu pied the attention of the legislature, during the recent most eventful period, have been so arranged, and the general state of the country so much improved, as to enable the Government to terminate the sitting of Parliament, with a Speech containing so few promi nent points as the present. The absence of important matter in it, is the best proof of the improved condition of the country : and the fact is further attested by the very circumstance of the dose of the Session, at this early period of the year and by the intention entertained of its being followed by an immediate Dissolution. The Speech, however, most properly commends the promptitude and discre tion with which Parliament applied itself to the . _ important objects recommended to its attention at the commencement of the Session, and expresses a confi dent hope, that the good effect of its deliberations will be manifested in the improved stability of public and private credit : it holds out an expectation that the causes of the late distresses are in a course of gradual abatement ; it repeats His Majesty's pacific disposi tions, and pledges His Majesty's attention to the re duction of Expenditure, as far as may be consistent with the security, honour, and interests of his King dom ; and it recommends that the Members of both Houses, should, in their respective Counties, inculcate harmony and good-will among the several great in terests of the Country. Parliament, therefore, separates, if not under the bright prospects of recent years, certainly with pro spects greatly improved since the Session commenced; and when we reflect on the immense resources of this mighty Empire, the enlightened condition of its inha bitants, the moderation and wisdom of its Government, we cannot but feel a confident expectation that the country will rise from any temporary di ffi culties under which it may now suffer, and by the blessing of God, will long continue in the proud station which it has occupied amongst nations, the object of the respect, the honour, and the envy of the world. That pink of morality, the irs, m publisher floe C f Miss HARRIETTE WILSON'S Memooved thourt of Common Pleas on Tuesday for a new trial, in the action for libel upon Mr. FISHER, by which Mr. STOCKDALE is to pay 700/. damages. Nothing i s more common in our Courts of Law, than for parties convicted of libel endeavouring to escape the verdict of th e Jury by moving for new trials—leave to enter nonsuits—or mitigate the a mount of damages, on the ground that they are excessive. Now, as to " exces sive damages," we sus pect the Defendant is not the most impartial judge, for what man would pay any damages in addition to his at like to torney's bill of costs, however reasonable that bill might be ? The jury in all such cases are the best judges, and it is their peculiar privilege to fix the amo unt. Mr. STOCKDALE appealed to the Court, not on the purity of his motives, which lio one can doubt—nor on the morality of the book, which both he and HARRIETTE deem second only to the Bible ; but he wanted a new trial, entirely on legal grounds, and thereby evinced his discrimination as a lawyer, with as much ability as if he had studied all his lire in the uncertain technicalities of the profes sion. He appeared as his own counsel on this occa sion, regardless of the common adage, for he kept the poet's observation in view, that in expressing his own ideas,— " He beet can paint them who can feel them moat ;" and no counsel in Westminster Hall, could feel half so sensibly the stake at issue, (7001.) as Mr. STOCK DALE himself. He objected first, that the publication of the book was not proved ! What ! The very book for whose morality he took so much credit to himself, and yet to doubt its authenticity this sounds rather Irish. Another objection was, that the plaintiff had set out in the declaration, that he had eight children, when only three had been proved! This is like telling a man who complained of having been robbed of 8001., and could only prove 8001., that he had not been robbed at all. Then as to the plaintiff's identity, Mr. STOCKD ALE'S doubts were equal to those of HARRIETTES, who mis.talled the plaintiff CHARLES instead of HUGH, probably from a wish to make up her list of Charlies as high as of those of Sweden.— But the best ground for granting a new trial was, that if the Court ref►►sed Mr. STOCKDALE'S motion, he would apply to the Legislature, and even to the Throne itself. The Court felt the force of the hint, and told him that " the grounds of his motion were as absurd as the publication was infamous." Mr. STOCK D ALE then consoled himself with saying, that " if he had not been conscious of the injustice of the verdict, he would have been deprived of his senses." Now, this is a clear proof of his sincere belief in the morality of a book, which the Court termed " infamous ;" but Doctors disagree, and Mr. STOCKDA LE has no doubt his own standard of morality, as well as Miss HA 11.• RIETTE WILSON. The Court indignantly refused the motion. It were idle to say a word on the merits of a work, for the publication of which Mr. Justice BUR ROUGH said the parties might consider themselves fortunate in escaping prosecution for a conspiracy,— and to say any thing on the motives of such moral people as Mr. STOCK DALE and Miss WI r.soN, is Were wasteful and ridiculous excess."

His Royal Highness s suite followed in two carriages and four. From Dover his Royal Highness - will cross over to Calais, and proceed to Paris, whence, after making a short stay, he will proceed to Saxe Cobourg, on a visit to his mother, the Duchess of Saxe'Cobourg. His Royal Highness took leave of the King on Sunday, previous to his departure. The Earl of Westmoreland transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. Yesterday Lord Maryborough and the Right Hon. Sir Charles Long had audiences of his Majesty. The Judge-Advocate laid before the King, yester day, some proceedings of courts-martial, and took his Majestv's commands upon the same. On 'Tuesday night Mr. Akerboni, a Messenger, was despatched from the Colonial Office to the lonian Islands.• Yesterday morning a Messenger of the same name,• and brother to him who left London on • Tuesday night, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office for Colonial Affairs, with despatches from the lonian Islands for Earl Bathurst. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain Thomas Francis Balderston, of the ship Asia, took leave of the Court previous to departing for Bengal direct. Lake House, Cheltenham, so much admired for its elegance and beauty of grounds and situation, was yesterday submitted to the hummer, at the Auction Mart, by Mr. Williams, who, in an able and elabo rate statement, said it had cost the late proprietor, Thomas Tomihme, Esq., in erecting and decorating, 30,0001. It was knocked down, however, at 10,29(11. The room was attended by a most fashionable com pany. Mr. Williams, in the course of • his observa tions, stated, that land in Cheltenham, which a few years ago sold at 30/. per acre, had lately produced 1,7001. the acre. The Ladies' sale of useful and ornamental work for time benefit of the Distressed Spitalfield Weavers, closed yesterday. The proceeds have exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Ladies who have so laudably exerted themselves for this benevolent purpose. NEW PEERS.—We hear, on authority on which we can place reliance, that the following distinguished persons are to be raised to the British Peerage :—Lord Balcarras, Mr. James Stuart - Wortley, Mr. Charles Rose Ellis, Mr. Duncombe, Sir John Leicester, Sir Charles Stuart, Sir Charles Long, Lord Northland, and the Lady of Sir H. Halford. We also under build that the mother of the Right Honourable Vesey Fitzgerald is to be created an Irish Peeress, and that he is to succeed Sir Charles Long as Paymaster of the Forces. There being no precedent of a physician being raised to the British Peerage, and it being the gracious intention of his Majesty to ennoble time family of Sir Henry Halford , it has been found necessar y , for • time aocomphshment of that purpose, to confer the title upon Lady Halford.—Represenintive. Mr. Brougham last night appeared to be bursting , with impatience for au opportunity of presenting some petitions to the House ; but unfortunately for the execution of his project, he found Mr. Grenfell iu possession.

Mr. HORNE stated, that the Court would recollect that, iu the course of the discussion of this ease, many observations had been made in the affidavits, particu larly in the observations of Dr. Bulkley on the cha racter and conduct of Mrs. Bligh. That Lady (the Learned Counsel continued) was a member of a most respectable family ; and, in consequence of what had passed in this Court, her attention had been particu larly drawn to the affidavits the result of which was, that she felt it a duty to herself, to the cause, and to the Court, to make the affidavit which he now begged to hand to the Court. Mr. HORNE then handed the affidavit to his Lord ship. His Lordship said, Mr. Wellesley has made a long additional affidavit, in answer t o t h e f acts o f t h e affidavit I pointed out, which was delivered to me a day or two ago, and I wish to know, Mr. Hart, whether the other side is aware that that affidavit was handed to me ? Mr. HART.—Yes, my Lord, notice of if was served upon them. His LORDSHIP—Then When Mr. Shadwell comes into court, I wish him to inform me whether Mr. Pittman means to make any farther affidavit or not ? Mr. HART.—My Lord, I have a letter delivered to me from a distinguished member of the family, not written to myself, but put into my hand, with a de sire that I would hand it to your Lordship; but in the exercise of my judgment. I felt I could not do so. His LORDSHIP.—WeII, if, Mr. Shadwell will give me the information I have asked for, I shall give judgment in the course of the following week. Mr. HART.—The object of the letter I have al luded to was, I may state, representing that the esti mation in which Mr. Wellesley stands with the best part of his family, is nut of the description which was given to the 'Court. His LonnsinP.---I should be glad to see any affi davit to that effect. Mr. SHADWELL came into Court soon afterwards, but made no communication to his Lordship. N THE MATTER OY• SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER. HiS LORDSHIP had considered whether there would be any hazard material, with respect to the state of Sir Gregory Page Turner, in gratifying his wish to be brought before him, and that he thought there would not be any hazard so material as ought to lead to a re fusal of the application ; therefore, if Sir Gregory would, have the goodness to attend to-morrow at eleven o'clock in the private room, he (his Lordship) would see him there. If an Habeas was necessary for bringing Sir Gregory up, his Counsel was to take the order for it. Mr. TRES/LOVE begged to hand in the list of wit nesses, whose evidence on the part of Sir Gregory had been tendered and refused at the trial of the in quisition, which his Lordship had requested to be furnished with. His LORDSHIP received them, and gave in ex change to Mr. Treslove the letters he had promised to bring down, which he requested to have returned again after being read. IN THE MATTER OP SYKES, &C. BANKRUPTS. His LORDSHIP found it necessary to call for further information in this matter. Mr. HARRISON had represented in his petition certain bills:of exchange as having been placed in the hands of the bankrupts as deposits ; and then reason ed on what might or might not be the effect of con sidering them as discounted bills. The case, as stated to the Court, left it to the Court to decided whether they were to be considered as discounted bills or deposits ; whereas, what passed between the parties, themselves would have to tleter mine that point ; and therefore his Lordship desired to have am affidavit, stating bow the entries of the bills in question stand in the hooks of the bankrupts. EX-PAItTE CiRIMSTEAD, IN THE MATTER or HOWARD AND GIBBS, BANKRUPTS. Mr. HonNE was instructed to ask when it would be convenient for the Court to give judgment in this His LORDSHIP said he would give it on any day on which Mr, Horne and Mr. Montague would agree to he in. Court. Mr. IIORNE thought it would be better for big Lordship to name a day. His Lon OSH r P then said, he would appoint Tues day morning next l'or finally disposing of the matter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DOW-STREET,—(Tuts DAY.) Two fashionable, gay, easy looking youths, who g ave their names Henry Stevenson, of No. 12, St. aul's Church-yard, and Henry boars, who described himself as a Nothing, resitting No. 171, Regent street, were brought before Mr. HALLS, in custody of Thomas Ford, and followed by a numerous posse of constables, upon whom, it appeared, they had been exercising their " slight of hand tricks," because the officers of the law were ungenteel enough to interfere, with the very silly • intention of preventing a breach of the peace, and the breaking of divers and sundry boxes, the property of Mrs. Baldey, and a female " friend," at their residence, No. 18, Ilussell-street, Covent ' garden. • The row was one of those:every 'tight occurrences, which give so much honour and glory to Covent-gar den---t is ladies were 4 , forty," if' they were not ,, fair," and sufficient to lead to mischief, if not to love. The constables were men careless of all the terrors of sticks and stones—the culprits were apparently of those upon whom honour and conscience would sit like a loose garment, to be thrown off' at plea sure, and over whom the law has but little in fluence, until its severity is felt. In their defence, they attributed their faults and fol lies to that enemy which, as the facetious knight says, would sack a city ;" but they altogether dented having given the blows, which appeared to have been received by the pericranium of one of the officers.
